jamocha

Write tests for nodejs, then run in jasmine. Bonus: have mocha spec reporter (or list, tap, nyan).

Usage

# prepare
npm install -D jasmine jamocha
mkdir test ; cp node_modules/jamocha/test/.jasmine.json test/

# set test script to `jasmine --reporter=jamocha/spec --config=test/.jasmine.json`
node -r fs -e "const p = require('./package.json'); p.scripts.test = 'jasmine --reporter=jamocha/spec --config=test/.jasmine.json'; fs.writeFileSync ('./package.json', JSON.stringify (p, null, 2));"

# test
npm test

Reasons

Mocha have better reports

So, I've adopted them

Jasmine expect almost as good as jest one

Use builtin expect, nodejs assert or anything else.

With reduced cost, because:

Jasmine have much less deps than others
